Will Carriers Kill The iTunes Phone?

Will Carriers Kill The iTunes Phone? 07/29/2004 04:48 AM
Apple (and Motorola) took a lot of people by surprise earlier this week by announcing plans to put iTunes on a mobile phone, but they may have left out one very important part: figuring out how the carriers get a cut. The wireless carriers are notorious for suppo rting closed systems, and making sure that they get a cut of any transaction that goes through a mobile phone. While this is a shortsighted move that has slowed down the creation and adoption of wireless services and applications, the carriers still insist on sticking to that plan, under the weird belief that they know best what applications and services subscribers will use (and pay for). So, now, many analysts are pointing out that for all the hype surrounding the mobile iTunes, there's a good chance carriers won't let it run on their phones, unless they somehow get a cut. Of course, for the smart carrier, this is a perfectly good opportunity to open up their offering. Giving subscribers an open platform with plenty of applications and services should generate more interest and allow the carrier to steal customers away from its competitors. Eventually, it will happen, but it may take a while.

According to the eWeek article the phone that was demonstrated by a Motorola executive at an International Consumer Electronics Show keynote is the first of many Motorola devices that will support iTunes this year. Details on the phone itself are still unclear but it is believed that it syncs with a computer and the iTunes Music Store like an iPod does, and incorporates the iPod interface for navigating and playing digital music.

iTunes Phone 03/25/2005 06:57 AM
While Motorola's Ed Zander made a gallant effort to cover for the wireless carriers by claiming the Motorola iTunes phone was really delayed due to Apple's marketing strategy, more and more evidence is appearing suggesting that (as most had assumed from the beginning) it's really the wireless carriers who are freaking out that (oh no!) content might somehow get on phones without them getting a cut. This is the classic walled garden mindset of the carriers, and it's exactly what's going to drag them down. While the carriers want to pretend they're music moguls and make sure their hand is one of many in the tiny pie, others are working on ways to route around the carriers. The more complicated the carriers make it, the more it's just going to push users to find other solutions, and then the carriers will be guaranteed not to get a cut at all. Their best bet is to embrace the offerings that are coming along as a way to sell more phones and more service. Stop worrying about getting their few pennies for each song. Even if they got it, it wouldn't last long. Once again, the carriers are showing that they've learned nothing from the internet.

Phone 12/19/2004 03:01 PM

This article in Forbes about the work between Apple and Motorola to produce what has (inevitably) become referred to as an 'iPhone' has re-ignited speculation about the degree to which the team-up will be just a simple outlet for iTunes music or a full-fledged move by Apple into the mobile phone market. Nothing in the article implies that Apple has had a hand in designing the user interface or the look of the phone itself, so it's really up in the air until more information is unveiled (possibly at the upcoming MacWorld in January). Some on Slashdot have wondered if the obviously flash memory-based phones are in fact the rumored iPod Flash itself. Unlikely, considering all the noise to the contrary coming out of Apple the last few months, but possible. Assuming the phone (or phones!) and the iPod Flash are two distinct products, Jobs might be reticent to unveil both at the same time, fearing that one might take the shine off the other.

Who knows? The one thing everyone should do, though, is not panic. This isn't new news, and until Apple and Moto decide to show us what they're cooking up (or gadget gods willing, someone leaks it), it's probably best to assume that this is Apple dipping their iTunes toes into the water and seeing how it works out.

Also, this picture is bogus and old, to boot. I post it only so I can disclaim it.

Motorola iTunes Phone Delay Cleared Up

Motorola iTunes Phone Delay Cleared Up 03/19/2005 02:45 AM

Motorola has cleared things up regarding the ROKR's absence at CeBIT and why they pulled their plans to announce the iTunes phone at the last second. Apparently, it stems simply from the differing product launch philosophies of the two companies. Motorola likes to show its products off before a launch whereas "Steve's perspective is that you launch a product on Sunday and sell it on Monday," says Ron Garriques, Motorla's mobile phone division president. The initial speculation that the troubles stemmed from the urging of one or more wireless carriers was quickly put to bed by Ron, saying "I've got lots of carriers fighting to be the first one we go with." It seems that we're just going to have to wait for Apple and Motorola to simply surprise us one day, apparently, this summer.

Apple Puts iTunes On A Mobile Phone (But
Is There More?) 07/26/2004 11:16 PM
Sneaking this in towards the end of the day, Apple and Motorola have announced plans for Apple to put a "slimmed down" version of iTunes on a Motorola phone that will be sold next year. It's not quite an iPhone, as it will really just be like similar MP3 playing phones, with fairly limited storage. In fact, some may wonder why Apple would even bother, since the whole point of iTunes is to sell more iPods. You could make the argument that having iTunes on a mobile phone might make someone more willing to buy an iPod also, but it's a stretch. A more intriguing conspiracy theory would be that this is simply "step 1" in a relationship between Motorola and Apple to build wireless iPods, where they roll this offering out to test the partnership, and then work on a wireless iPod secretly in the background.

HOWTO Stream from iTunes to your mobile
phone (without Apple's permission) 06/17/2005 03:34 PM
Cory Doctorow: DittyBot is a script for OS X that uses a clever combination of mobile email and VoIP to stream music from your iTunes collection to your cellphone. Using your phone, email the title/artist info for a song in your iTunes library to DittyBot, which is running on your Mac, pulling down mail every minute. DittyBot receives the request, calls you with Skype, and plays the song back to you over voice-over-IP using iTunes. Wow.

You send a text message from your mobile phone to your POP email account. Your text message should contain the keywords of a song title (and possibly an artist name) that you want to hear. DittyBot finds that email (he checks Mail every 45 seconds) and copies the song name into a text file. The song name is then copied into iTunes and a playlist is created from your search. Next, DittyBot loads Skype (the internet telephony app) and begins calling your mobile phone. Your mobile phone rings and when you pick it up, you should hear your song start playing in all its compressed glory. DittyBot will play your selection to you over your phone until you hang up. Mind you, this all should happen within 1 minute of sending your song request (depending on the speed of your POP server). Sometimes it's even quicker!
